Today I am a guest over at Sugar Creek Hollow and the theme for the Challenge this week is a masculine card in a vintage, shabby chic or primitive inspired style. I've decorated a paperbag with a tag innside:)

The winner is chosen by random and will receive an image along with the badge to display on your blog:) The card of the week winner will get a badge to display on her blog and will be in the running for a guest Designer spot. Thanks so much for having me this week ladies

Don't forget to come and join in the Challenge this week at Sugar Creek Hollow and also check out the rest of the fab work by the design team!

Design papers - Melissa Frances and Ladybug and friends. I used the air travelling stamp from Tim Holtz, map, and stamped it on the design papers.

And if you want to know my dwarf parrots are doing just fine. Those babies are getting bigger and bigger every day. Wow they eat alot. Their eyes are open now.. And the parents are taking good care of them. It's so much fun:)
